Manga Report: Ai Yori Aoshi 17


And at long last we've reached the end of our story.

The resolution to the Kaoru-Not Kaoru situation seems kinda rushed, but it works. There's some drama, some tears, and then everybody's happy.

The main part of this volume seems to be the big deal of this entire 17-volume manga. They finally do THE DEED. But these chapters didn't work for me -- maybe it's because there was a little too much resigned giving and not as much um ... enjoying?

We get a flash forward to the future, and get to see where everyone ended up. It's cool, but also feels tacked on.

Anyway, happily ever after, and Kaoru finally gets laid.
